Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A few minutes ago, the Minister of Renewable Resources indicated that aboriginal people were allowed to trade and barter under the act. I know a few years ago, there was a Supreme Court case which indicated that treaty people had a right to commercial hunt and, likely, a right to commercial fish as well. I would like to know if this was put into our act in order to comply with the court case or did this government already recognize those treaty rights to commercial hunting prior to that court case. Thank you.
